CNN PRODUCER NOTE Cheryl Ferguson, of Urbino, Italy, shared these pictures to show the world that there is more to Italy than Rome. 'Yes, it snowed in Rome and they are not used to it. But, we are entombed in snow and in a state of emergency,' she says. Ferguson and her boyfriend were trapped in their house and could not get out until they called a private plower, but nevertheless considers herself fortunate. 'We are lucky to still have electricity, water, gas, etc. even though the lights have gone out and come back at least 20 times since the 31st of January,' she says. The consistent snowfall has resulted in a height of 1.5 meters of snow - shoulder level for 5-foot-7-inch Ferguson. 'I heard this afternoon that they are calling for at least another three days of snow, with some very heavy snow tomorrow,' she says... Via Mariano Pallottini, Good Things From Italy

McDonalds' recent Twitter debacle seemed to indicate the company was clueless, and made them a candidate for our Social Media Hall of Shame (http://bit.ly/HallOfShame). This article shows another, more successful side of the fast food giant's social media practice.

Abstract: The writers and directors of The Matrix famously claimed Jean Baudrillard as a source of inspiration for their movie, going as far as to feature a copy of Baudrillard’s signature book, Simulacra and Simulation, as a prominent prop in one of the movie’s first scenes. Baudrillard, however, explicitly disowned The Matrix as a representation of his worldview. When we follow the story of The Matrix from the perspective of the protagonist Neo, as the story compels us to do, we encounter a dualistic, Platonic division between reality and illusion which, as Baudrillard rightly observes, annuls the implosive dynamic that is the heart of the hyperreal condition. On the other hand, when we consider The Matrix from the perspective of its audience, the citizens of the “real 1999” (as opposed to the simulacral 1999 generated by the Matrix), we find late-century American culture refracted back to us as the kind of world that lends itself to “neural-interactive simulation.” By performing a reading of The Matrix that emphasizes its reference to its contemporary historical moment, we can identify a sense in which the film authentically captures a Baudrillardian variety of space-time.

As this year’s presidential race heats up it is always good to take a look back at some of our country’s previous leaders.
Today’s Infographic shows the two most recent and two least recent presidents, as well as where they took up residency throughout their lives.
Another interesting aspect of today’s graphic is how much Obama and Bush have traveled compared to the founding fathers.
We have become a nation of fifty different states that span thousands of miles. There is no surprise that good guy George couldn’t traverse the present US with such limited technology. Modern travel is so amazing our current president has resided in areas like Hawaii, New York City and the two most important Washingtons: State and DC.
Bush is not as worldly as Obama and has only resided in Texas outside New England. He got to see the different sides of the lone star state from our desert to the sea. I’m sure he’s ridden the West Texas sands dunes, experience Houston’s hellish humidity and did whatever there’s to do in Dallas, but I’m not sure if his time in Texas helped his foreign policy.
There are a lot of different cultures within America and having a president that has experienced a few different ones is a must for me. I’d like to see some other presidential residential maps to see if any of them can compare to newest Mr. President. Download or Embed here: http://bit.ly/xw083o

First came the soccer moms. Then the security moms. Will 2012 be the year of the “birth control moms”?
But then Rick Santorum said states ought to have the right to outlaw the sale of contraception.
And Susan G. Komen for the Cure yanked its funding for Planned Parenthood.
And the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops teed off on President Barack Obama’s contraception policy.
And House Republicans invited a panel of five men — and no women — to debate the issue.
And a prominent Santorum supporter pined for the days when “the gals” put aspirin “between their knees” to ward off pregnancy.

Fun with charts -- because even if Adele tops all the Grammy winners of 2012, this is probably how she'll do it.
There will never be a formula to accurately predict the outcome of the Grammy Awards, which are notoriously whimsical, to the point of sometimes being a punchline. (The Oscars, by contrast, are just predictable enough to seem boring.) But there are certain patterns to the Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences' record that can help one understand the choices, something even approaching a kind of logic.
We've analyzed this year's nominees according to some relevant criteria, commercial and otherwise, all of which help explain why, yeah, Adele is pretty much a juggernaut. Along with a few more things that will become significant come Sunday night, when you can expect that, no matter who wins, somebody will still get irrationally pissed off about it. —Paul Schrodt, with Infographics by Column Five Media - http://bit.ly/x68KZ9
